# 2.3. Debian GNU/Linux

This section describes how to install Groonga related deb packages on Debian GNU/Linux. You can install them by `apt`.

We distribute both 32-bit and 64-bit packages but we strongly recommend a 64-bit package for server. You should use a 32-bit package just only for tests or development. You will encounter an out of memory error with a 32-bit package even if you just process medium size data.

## 2.3.1. bookworm

Added in version 13.0.2.

Install `groonga-apt-source`:

    % sudo apt update
